Might be able to heat with a hair dryer, then use a piece of dry ice on the sight. Differential in temp might break it loose. Using the deal blow hammer might be the ticket

I've got a buddy who farms with his 22 year old son. The kid can break anything. Tractors, haybines, planters, truck clutches. I'll send you his address. It might take a week or so of "normal use" but it'll come back in two pieces. Seriously, I wonder it some heat sink pasre applied to the action while you heat the sight might take it off without annealing the action or ruining the bluing. RD

I agree that blasting the sight itself with a torch should break the JB before any significant heat gets to the reciever. I'm thinking a oxy-acy rig. The hotter the torch the faster you heat the sight and less time to transfer heat to the reciever.

Q: How can I remove J-B Weld after it is fully cured?
A: When fully cured, J-B Weld can only be removed by grinding or filing it off, or by directly heating the product above the 600 degree maximum temperature threshold.
How about grinding it off?
Actually, start with a cutoff wheel to remove the sight, then switch to grinding to get the epoxy off.

It'll do the trick!

Elk - 130 yards (1 shot)

It kind of makes one wonder, why today, it will bounce off anything bigger than a rabbit
